When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them.” The event is free, but donations will be accepted to help defray the costs.

It’s no secret the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and with that, comes strains on state and local budgets. Ohio’s prisons were built to house 38,579 inmates, but currently are closer to 50,000. Many of the crimes that have led to that overcrowding involve drug addiction. Thus, the backers of Issue 1 raise the question: Are we locking up people with the hope of rehabilitating them, or are we just warehousing people who have been found guilty of crimes. The group has formerly titled Issue 1, “The Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” What they are proposing is out-of-the-box thinking, if not down right radical. Issue 1 would eliminate possible jail time in the future for the possession of drugs such as fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD and other controlled substances by making those offenses misdemeanors. The money saved from having fewer people in prison would then go toward establishing more drug treatment programs to help those with addictions. Hog wash is how Ohio Supreme Court Justice Maureen O’Connor views their plan. She has been traveling the state warning people about the perils she sees. “A superficial reading of Issue 1 could lead voters to see it as a thoughtful, compassionate and reasonable response. However, if you peel back Issue 1’s layers, its catastrophic consequences for our state become obvious,” she says. Specifically, Issue 1 would: š�9kj�fh_ied�j_c[�\eh�e\\[dZ[hi�m^e�Yecfb[j[� rehabilitation programs, except those convicted of murder, rape or child molestation; š�H[ZkY[�j^[�dkcX[h�e\�f[efb[�_d�ijWj[�fh_ied� for low-level, nonviolent drug possession or drug use offenses or for non-criminal probation violations; š�9edl[hj�\[bedo�*�WdZ�\[bedo�+�Zhk]�feii[ii_ed� and drug use crimes to misdemeanors with no jail time for first and second offenses committed within a 24-month period; š�Fhe^_X_j�`kZ][i�\hec�i[dZ_d]�f[efb[�je�fh_ied� if they violate probation with something other than a new crime, such as missing an appointment. Among those supporting Issue 1 are Richard Cordray, the Democrat candidate for governor; the Ohio Education Association, the state’s largest teacher’s union; and the ACLU of Ohio. It is being bankrolled by billionaires, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center. Twelve states have already passed some type of decriminalization, but what Issue 1 has planned for Ohio would see it end up with some of the most lenient drug crime laws in the nation, O’Connor said. Case in point is fentanyl — which is 50 times more potent than heroin and was involved with 58 percent of the overdose deaths in Ohio in 2016. Issue 1 would make the possession of powdered fentanyl in amounts less than 20 grams a misdemeanor – even though 19 grams is enough to kill 2,000 people. O’Connor also predicted devastating consequence for drug courts. The courts have been highly effective in rehabilitating drug users, she says, but only when they combine the “carrot” of treatment with the “stick” of accountability, including incarceration when needed. With Issue 1, judges also would be forbidden to impose jail time. That has the Ohio State Bar Association, the County Commissioners Association and Republican candidate Mike DeWine opposing Issue 1. The Buckeye Institute, an independent think tank, calls the push by Issue 1 for rehabilitation over incarceration laudable. However, it says amending the Ohio constitution is the wrong avenue for seeking that reform. “Implementing sentence reforms is a tricky business, full of trial and error, and should be Exhibit A for the kind of legal reforms suited to the more flexible and forgiving legislative process rather than the stone-like severity of constitutional amendments,” said Daniel J. Dew of the institute’s legal center. Both the supporters and foes of Issue 1 agree on one thing: It’s time to get out of the habit of using prisons as the place to shut our problems away and throw away the key. Voters need to take an honest and comprehensive look when deciding how to mark their ballot on Nov. 6. Their decision will be critical not just because of its impact on criminal justice, but more so because of the impact on human lives. THEIR VIEW Take a walk on the weird side As a devotee of YouTube — mostly for movies and TV shows I haven’t seen — I have discovered an entertaining category of videos dealing with the weird, the strange and the incredible. No, not replays of recent Senate hearings and presidential news conferences, but videos of odd lengths telling us about the 10 most haunted places either in the U.S. or overseas, or locations that once thrived and have since become ghost towns due to various and sundry dire reasons. Okay, you’re probably saying to yourself that this kid (if I may so flatter myself) needs a life or psychiatric help. Or that he watches too much television and needs to get out more. I’ll admit I squander a lot of time in front of the tube, but since I’m not engaged in writing the Great (or the Worst) American Novel or some such task, it helps keep me occupied. Thing is, these little shows are not only well put together but kind of addictive if you’re in the right frame of mind. Like any good supermarket tabloid with headlines and pictures that scream “Pick me up and read!”, the creators of such videos use portentous music, sinister phrasing and dark imagery to entice you into the unusual tale they are spinning. Once hooked, you watch with intensity until the end, in which you are either quaking in your slippers or cursing yourself as an idiot for wasting the 15 minutes or so it took to become disappointed. These videos, however, tap into our natural curiosity about what seems in film and video to be the unnatural. by the curious Like most accounts feeds nicely into of unidentified the “places people flying objects that don’t go” kind of exploded onto the video that pop up national consciousduring a casual ness in the years view of what’s on following World Kevin YouTube.

No doubt he would be amused today that the “strange world” he enjoyed investigating is alive and well on the web under titles like “Spookiest Places on the Earth” or “Top 10 Disappearances That Have Never Been Explained.” When I’d written here in the past about Mothman, my wife’s aunt, Pamela Bradbury Shaw, asked her if I truly believed in all of that stuff. Let me say I like to have an open mind on such matters, and like so many folks, I enjoy being spooked a little and given to wonder about weird things that are purported to be true. And given this time of year when tales of mystery and imagination are celebrated, I can’t think of anything better to do with my spare time.

Known as the “The Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment”, Issue 1 would have a major impact on the judicial system and law enforcement, according to the message at the press conference. “As with everybody standing with me here today, the drug epidemic has taken a toll on my community, my county. To say that it has devastated our communities is a serious understatement,” said Vinton County Prosecutor Trecia Kimes-Brown. Stanley explained, that should Issue 1 pass, possession of as much as 19 grams of fentanyl would be a misdemeanor offense, not punishable by more than probation, unless it was the offenders third offense in a 24-month period. Putting that into proportion, that amount of fentanyl would be enough to kill approximately 10,000 people, said Stanley. With very little consequence for possession of large amounts of drugs, Stanley stated that the consequences would be “devastating” and the state would become a “hot spot” for drug traffickers. “The consequences are minimal… there would be great incentive to come in and make a profit,” said Stanley. If the aim of the amendment is to increase drug treatment, this is not the way to do it, explained Stanley. Currently, a judge may order an offender to complete a drug treatment program as part of his or her sentence. The sentence often will state that should the offender fail to complete the program then they would be sentenced to a specific amount of time in prison. Should the amendment pass, there would be no ability to sentence a person to prison time for failure to complete a drug program. “People who need and deserve a second chance will not get it under this amendment,” cautioned Stanley. While Stanley explained the legal ramifications of the amendment, Kimes-Brown appealed to voters on a different level. “I would like to appeal to you today as not only a prosecutor, but as a mother, as a citizen, as a tax payer, as a voter, to think Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood speaks in opposition to State Issue 1 during Friday’s press conference. Gallia County Prosecutor Jason Holdren speaks at a press conference on Friday in Meigs County where local officials gathered to share their opposition to State Issue 1. practically what this situation is going to present to all of these folks behind me who go to work everyday and risk their lives to make us safer,” said Kimes-Brown. Using the example of a routine traffic stop, Kimes-Brown stated that an officer could arrive at a traffic stop in which the vehicle is carrying fentanyl. Unknown to the officer he or she could breathe in the drug, as could children who are passengers in the vehicle. This could result in a trip to the hospital or other emergency treatment. “I as a prosecutor can charge a misdemeanor. I find that absolutely appalling,” said KimesBrown of the possible charges from the scenario. In addition to the increased danger to law enforcement and the other members of the community possible, there could also be an impact on the amount of overdose related deaths, as Gallia County Prosecutor Jason Holdren explained. Holdren spoke about the current state of the drug problem in the area with the increase in overdose deaths in the last 10 years. There were 15 overdose deaths last year, stated Holdren, with that number possibly over 20 this year, with those related to heroin and fentanyl. When it comes to what kind of drugs law enforcement is seeing, Holdren explained that “fentanyl is here.” Fentanyl is seen mixed with heroin or other drugs and sold. “Up to 20 grams (the amount which would be a misdemeanor) is enough to kill a complete community,” said Holdren. The increase in fentanyl has already changed the way drug cases are handled, said Holdren. Field tests are no longer conducted on drugs found at scenes or during traffic stops as there is an increased danger with fentanyl exposure. “A lot of well-meaning folks in our state were duped into signing a petition. People who signed that petition were duped,” said Kimes-Brown. She explained that many were told this amendment was the way to provide more treatment options for those addicted and that law enforcement and prosecutors are not there to help. The prosecutor explained that none of those who were there at the press conference are against drug treatment, and in fact work with offenders to get them in to treatment programs rather than prison. Regarding the early release provision, Stanley explained that after completion of a class, offenders serving time for crimes other than murder, rape and child molestation, would be eligible for up to a 25 percent early release from prison. This early release would be possible for offenders who have been convicted of crimes such as robbery and felonious assault, said Stanley. “This would put dangerous offenders back on the streets,” said Stanley. Additionally, those who are put on probation would not be able to be sent to prison as a consequence of violating their probation. “Essentially the person would not have to comply with any of the terms of probation and there are no consequences for that,” said Stanley. The increase in probationers would put a financial strain on county and local governments which are already working hard Sunday, October 7, 2018 5A to get by on the budget they have, explained Commissioner Randy Smith. The amendment also would send the wrong message to today’s youth, downplaying the seriousness of drugs. “The idea that we are going to move forward in a state where Issue 1 could become a constitutional amendment is appalling to me,” said Kimes-Brown. Rather than the proposed constitutional amendment, many of the officials who spoke said that decisions such as changes included in Issue 1 should be addressed by the legislature. Local officials are often in contact with those at the state level, communicating about things such as the drug issue and what they are seeing on the front lines. By working with the legislature on changes, funding may be able to come along with the changes to help provide treatment options, detox facilities and other options. Holdren explained that the representatives and senators are supposed to handle matters such as this, whether it is for stronger laws or to go the other way. That is part of the legislative process, explained Holdren, adding that judges are elected by the people and currently have the discretion on how to sentence offenders. Under Issue 1, the elected judges would not have discretion on sentencing to treatment, prison or probation. The passage of Issue 1 would nearly eliminate the drug court programs which are active in Gallia County and many others across the state. Drug courts have proven successful said Holdren, noting that there have been a number of success stories in the county. If the crimes are made misdemeanors then the felony drug courts are useless, said Holdren. “Right now the citizens have a huge opportunity to make a change. They hear the misinformation” explained Washington County Chief Deputy Mark Warden. “This is a very scary proposition for law enforcement…. (there would be an) influx of narcotics into the community. I don’t have the man power to cover it,” said Warden. For more on State Issue 1, and the cases for and against it, see page A4 of the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

Marshall to host free FAFSA workshop HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall University is hosting a free “It’s FAFSA Time” financial aid workshop for local students and their families who need assistance in filing the 2019-20 FAFSA. The event takes place from 1 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, in the Office of Student Financial Assistance (SFA) in Old Main, room 116, on Marshall’s Huntington campus. Pamela Palermo, director of the university’s Office of SFA, said filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is perceived by many as being complicated and time-consuming, but she wants students and families to know financial aid doesn’t have to be scary. “Completing the FAFSA does seem scary,” Palermo said. “That’s why it is best to get an early start so students are not overwhelmed later when deadlines approach. We hope hosting this event in our office will get students familiar with us and the process so they know financial aid is a conversation they can have on any campus without hesitation.” In preparation for the workshop, Palermo said the student and parent should create a Federal Student Aid ID at https://fsaid.ed.gov, which gives them access to FSA’s online systems and can serve as their legal signature. She said parents and students should bring their FSA ID, 2017 tax information and or income information, social security number and driver’s license to the workshop. “Students graduating from high school in 2019 and students already in college should submit the 2019-20 FAFSA now, even if they haven’t decided where to attend college,” Palermo said. “Filing the FAFSA earlier could help students and their families make smarter college decisions. Applying early could give students and parents that jumpstart to discuss college affordability. All personal FAFSA information reviewed and discussed with students and parents will be kept private and confidential.” This free event is open to prospective students, current students and the community at large. No registration is required; walk-ins are welcome. “It’s FAFSA Time” is sponsored by the Office of Student Financial Assistance, the Heart of Appalachia Talent Search (HATS) program and the Office of Student Support Services.

However, this year, one might hear Christmas music during the event. “We usually dedicate the show to someone who has served the community,” said Easter. “This year we’ve dedicated it to two people. One is Mike Polcyn (often remembered as the passed City Park Santa), so that’s why it might be weird when you hear a Christmas song during the show. That’s our thank you to him. We’re also honoring Patty Weatherholt, a 26-year veteran of the Village Council that lost a battle to cancer this year.” The Rio Grande Fire Department is anticipated to sell snacks and potentially hot chocolate during the event and a lucky ticket drawer will be able to view the fireworks from the top of the department’s ladder truck. “I’d like to thank all of our donators and sponsors and supporters,” said Easter. “Without them we wouldn’t be able to do this.

Of that 56, 72 percent were housed downstairs in the jail, 24 percent of those were housed in our work release center and four percent were out-ofcounty, usually housed with another sheriff’s office. We jump to 2017 and you see the daily inmate population grew to a little over 67 inmates (average daily). Of those 67 inmates, 73 percent were housed down here at our jail, 21 percent of those were housed in our work release center and six percent were housed out-of-county…As we move down here to 2018, we see a huge explosion from 2016 to 2018. Our average daily population is a little over 82 inmates. Of those, 70 percent are housed downstairs here, 19 percent are housed at our work release center. We see a drastic increase, almost tripled from 2016 to 2018, we’re at 11 percent out-of-county.” In 2016, the county housed 1,655 individuals through its jail, 560 through the work release center and 83 for out-ofcounty. In 2017, 1,884 were housed in the jail, 558 in the work release center and 149 out-ofcounty. In 2018, with year-to-date totals, 1,639 were housed in the jail, 440 in the work release center and 273 in out-ofcounty facilities. “We’re only able to hold a certain number of inmates in our facilities, so we’re basically forced to outsource that to other counties,” said Champlin. “The bad thing about that is those counties are quite a distance for us to travel. We travel as far away as Van Wert County (on the Ohio and Indiana border) which is a three and a half or four hour trip, one way.” Total expenditures for the county jail expenses in 2016 totaled $1,536,153,76 with $157,266 of that in out-of-county housing for inmates. In 2017, the county spent $1,635,780.08 on its jail program with $318,359 on out-of-county inmate housing. In 2018, The county spent $1,586,995.53 on jail with $461,532 on out-ofcounty housing. In 2016, out-of-county expenses cost $104,048 in prisoner housing, $5,196 in medical and $48,020 in transportation. In 2017, From page 1A to file charges on unruly kids. The thing that I noticed, I’ve been downstairs through our jail about three times since I’ve been a commissioner. Usually I hear things like ‘Hi Coach Saunders, how you doing?’ It’s not by the workers. It’s by the prisoners. My concern for the situation there is the safety, number one, of the staff, and I hear recently there has been a lot of noise…So I am concerned about the safety of the staff. I’m concerned about the safety of the prisoners. If you take some young person that’s made a little mistake and he’s brought in here and taken down to our jail, I kind of fear for his safety. I fear for your safety, if you’ve ever worked the jail.” Commissioner Harold Montgomery said he agreed with his colleagues. “One things I’ve always said is that fighting crime is expensive,” said Montgomery. “That’s what we’re going to try and deal with…There is another caveat that goes along with this. We have defense of the indigent to fund. We don’t get the reimbursement from the state that was originally designed. We’re receiving less than what the program was supposed to reimburse.” Montgomery’s statement about “defense of the indigent” refers to the county’s responsibility to fund an attorney for a defendant’s counsel, if that individual cannot afford an attorney. Montgomery said he thanked the region’s judges because he felt that sometimes others did not understand the efforts they have taken to divert defendants into rehabilitation or other such programs to keep them out of “our jail situation,” he said. Next, Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin presented statistics over the last three years regarding the Gallia corrections program, including the jail and Gallia Work Release Center. “We’ve done a three year breakdown,” said Champlin as he presented informational displays. “Starting in 2016, you can see that our (average) daily inmate popula- p.m. at the University of Rio Grande, Wood Hall, Room 131.

In 2018, housing cost $353,580, medical $25,299 and transportation $82,653. “There are a lot of things that factor in that,” said Champlin. “We’ve been taking a very proactive approach to our opioid epidemic and property crimes and things of that nature. The other problem we’re faced with, as everybody in the room knows, the State of Ohio has been so generous to give us the responsibility of housing our (fourth and fifth-degree offenders with changes in Ohio law). A lot of those things factor into our increase.” Champlin said he want- ed those present to understand that the 2018 totals were measured through the end of August. Bills had not been received for the month of September yet. The Gallia Jail is reported to be a 22-bed facility. “The people that we’re keeping locked up need to be,” said Champlin. “Since we have started our proactive approach, we see a decrease in our property crimes, a decrease in violent crimes and everything associated with the opioid epidemic. Our citizens expect that out of us. That’s why we’re all in these positions we’re in because we vowed to keep the public safe.” Community Center.

Commissioners anticipate they can maintain expenses through 2019 but are concerned about the coming years due to the loss of roughly $600,000 annually in what has been called an MCO sales tax loss due to recent rulings by state government. Commissioners said Gallia was not unique among other rural counties in its financial, jail and opioid problems, but that they had gathered with the law enforcement community Thursday to get solutions in motion. “We have been working on this for the better part of a year in the background,” said Smith. “We are open to any possible solutions, should someone like to come forward with an idea. We are reaching out to the state, to our elected officials. We are not unique in this situation. I think we are in a better position than many other counties I have talked to…I can tell you we have prepared for the best we could for what we see coming.” “As David alluded to, we have to provide 2018 Fall Three Day Public Sale Thursday, October 11th through Saturday, October 13th 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Accepting Credit Cards, Cash and Checks OH-70075725 POMEROY — Pomeroy Library, Inspirational Book Club, 10:30 a.m. Read and discuss “Wake the Dawn” by Lauraine Snelling with us!

I haven’t run the numbers recently but I think we’re up around 51 or 52 percent this year. In dealing with this, we cannot neglect the rest of the county. We have to support and intend to support our services. That is some of the reason we give for the urgency to everyone today.” Gallipolis City Manager Gene Greene asked the commissioners if the county was looking down the road to a “centralized jail” or added revenue to help the issue. Smith said no possibilities were being “closed out.” As for a regional jail, he mentioned concern with examples of regional jails across the river in West Virginia and their challenges. He said he had heard talk that state officials may be considering jail funding to be included in the state’s capital improvement budget, but that local government would have to wait and see what happens.

When searching online for help, be aware that some scam artists place legitimatelooking ads offering services they won’t actually provide.

This allows the scam artist to drain funds from the card, even without having the card itself. Watch out for phony refund offers. Be extremely cautious of anyone who claims to offer you a refund for bad tech support services, even if the offer comes months after a tech support scam. The supposed refund may be part of another scam, where a con artist pretends to offer compensation as a way to get you to provide money or personal information.

In August, Attorney General DeWine also filed a lawsuit against a company called IGeeksOnline and a Columbus woman accused of misleading consumers about tech support services.

Southern lost the turnover battle by a 4-2 tally, but doubled up Ravenswood to the tune of 22-11 in first downs. Both teams were penalized nine times, with SHS being sent back 65 yards and RHS losing 85 yards. McNickle — who received Player of the Game honors postgame — led the Tornadoes in both rushing and receiving, carrying the ball 15 times for 80 yards, while hauling in five passes for 71 yards and a touchdown. Drummer — who carried the ball 11 times for a total of 14 yards — was 19-of-32 passing for 261 yards and four touchdowns. Shuler carried the ball five times for 35 yards and caught four passes for 50 yards and a score. Austin Baker had four receptions for 46 yards in the win, Dutton hauled in three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown, while Thorla earned 43 yards and a score on three grabs of his own. Hood led the Red Devils with 158 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries, while catching one pass for 21 yards. Jacob Anthony had 40 yards on seven totes, Luke Jackson added 33 yards on six carries, while Wayne Stephenson earned 27 total yards on three carries and one catch. Hilton was 2-of-6 passing for 26 yards, while gaining 12 yards over seven carries. Sturm finished with 18 yards and one touchdown over seven carries in the setback. The Purple and Gold will head to Waterford in Week 8, where the Wildcats wait with a 5-2 record. “We have to get back to the drawing board,” Willford said. “Waterford is a great ball club and they have been for years.” Ravenswood will try to snap its four-game skid at unbeaten Doddridge County.

Following the victory, Tornadoes head coach Cassady Willford talked about how big this victory was for his team, especially coming against against former SHS assistant coach and current RHS head coach Eric Hupp. “This win is very important to us,” Willford said. “Coach Hupp has a great ball club here, they’re well-coached and very disciplined. With him being a coach of our kids before, it was a special night for our guys.

The RedStorm recorded a program-first on Thursday night in a 14-0 waxing of Cincinnati Christian University in River States Conference action at Evan E. Davis Field. Rio Grande, which is ranked No. 5 in the latest NAIA coaches’ poll, improved to 10-0 overall and 4-0 in conference play with the victory. The RedStorm also tallied 10 or more goals in consecutive games for the first time in school history and have now outscored their opposition 64-1 this season. Cincinnati Christian fell to 4-4 overall and 1-3 in the RSC as a result of the loss. Sophomores Samuel Pedersen (Aldershot, England) and Callum Malanaphy (Stourbridge, England) both recorded hat tricks in the win for Rio Grande, while senior Harry Reilly (Coventry, England) added two goals and a trio of assists. Freshmen Nicolas Cam Orellana (Santiago, Chile) and Manyumow Achol (Wellington, New Zealand) both finished with two goals and an assist for the RedStorm and senior Eduardo Zurita (Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain) scored once and assisted on two other goals. Rio Grande, which outshot CCU 43-3 overall and 26-1 on goal, led 9-0 at the intermission. Pedersen scored off an assist by Cam Orellana just over 10 minutes into the contest, but the RedStorm lowered the boom by adding five more goals in a span of just under six minutes. Cam Orellana scored off of dual-assist from Reilly and senior Harry Robinson (London, England) on a corner kick, Pederson found the net thanks to an assist by Zurita, Cam Orellana scored unassisted on a breakaway, Zurita scored on a penalty kick and Reilly scored via a pass from Zurita to make it 6-0 with 19:27 left in the first half. Achol then added consecutive unassisted scores at 30:48 and 39:16, respectively, before Malanaphy found the net thanks to an assist from Connor Paine (Cornwell, England) with 3:34 remaining before the intermission to set the score at the break. Malanaphy scored again off a pass from Reilly just over 18-1/2 minutes into the second half, touching off a string of four goals in a span of just over 11-1/2 minutes. Pedersen made it 11-0 with a goal off an assist by Achol, Robinson scored on a corner kick by Reilly and Reilly scored thanks to a pass from freshman Michael Garcia (London, England). Malanaphy closed out the scoring with an unassisted marker with 7:22 remaining in the game. Junior Richard Dearle (Castle Donington, England) recorded one save in a clean sheet effort for the RedStorm. Alex Jacobs, who started and surrendered Rio’s first nine goals, was credited with 10 saves in the loss for CCU. Cole Garrison worked the final 27:25 in net for the Eagles and had one save. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday when Brescia University visits for another River States Conference match. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, October 7, 2018 5B By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green "Y $AVE 'REEN � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL By Bil and Jeff Keane ����� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS ����� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Hank Ketcham’s ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

Ohio’s milkweed seed pod collection continues through the end of the month and the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative is calling on Ohioans to collect milkweed seed pods to help Monarch butterflies. The project started in 2015 as a seven-county pilot project, and last year hundreds of Ohioans worked together. Since then the volunteers collected approximately 5,000 gallons of common milkweed seed pods, totaling over 22 million seeds, according to the OPHI. Milkweed is the only host plant for the Monarch butterfly for egg laying and caterpillar rearing. It also serves as a food source for Monarchs as well as many other pollinator species. Make your collecting go better by following these simple tips: Make sure that before you collect seed, you become familiar with the common milkweed to avoid harvesting pods from similar plants such as hemp dogbane and swamp milkweed.
